Plies recently posted a video on social media showing a man falling asleep during the Republican National Convention. In the caption, he humorously wrote, “He Can’t Stay Awake At the RNC!! He Sleep Bih!!!!! The Media Give Dude All The Passes!!!” This lighthearted jab caught the attention of many, including rapper Kodak Black.
Kodak Black criticized Plies for his negative comments about President Trump after an assassination attempt on the 78-year-old left him injured. In an Instagram Live session, Kodak urged Plies to stop the “Trump slander,” stating, “You gotta get off that shit, Plies. Trump ain’t did nothing to you, you feel me? You rich, bruh, we rich. Fall back, love ’cause shit can get mafioso, boy.”
Plies had previously suggested that the shooting was staged and accused Trump of playing the victim after “pushing hate for the last eight years.” This controversy sparked a debate among fans and followers of both rappers.
